Edmonton Circles Drake Batherson as Ottawa Contract Talks Stall Out

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly sniffing around Ottawa's Drake Batherson as the Senators and their star forward remain stuck in contract negotiations that show no signs of progress. The gap between what Batherson wants and what Ottawa is willing to pay has created an opening that other teams, particularly contenders like Edmonton, are monitoring closely. If the Senators can't get a deal done soon, the possibility of Batherson hitting the trade market could become very real.
